—Nehemiah 12:27-31b
by: Angie Osborn.
The wall was built. There was time for celebration. When we walk with God, celebrations are not just about us. Celebrations are a recognition of what God has done. Nehemiah, in effect, threw a big party. This party was an act of worship-of the God who gave the city; of the God who can purify hearts; of the God who keeps promises, even when we fail. Nehemiah "sang from the rooftops"! We, too, can celebrate in worship and "sing from the rooftops." God has purified us! He has kept his promises! He has given us a hope and a future!
